Among other work to be completed during the closure is hinging trees along the shoreline, placing fish structures, cutting trees on the lake bottom to prevent boating problems, enlarging the boat access parking area, repairing or deepening the shoreline, planting and liming the lake bottom, and restocking the lake after refilling.

If funding allows, additional improvements and upgrades to the playground equipment and the beach may be done.

The area is expected to reopen mid-winter 2013-14, the release states.
